My city divided in fractions with factions of fans, but the state is solidly ours. GEORGIA Football is still the most popular sporting enterprise in the largest state east of the Mississippi River. The Atlanta Braves, a Southern regional favorite…

Welcome to the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. An exciting matchup every year, Georgia (6-3) holds a 55-55-8 record versus our “sister school” Auburn (5-4), both programs’ series record on exacta. The first game-between was played in Piedmont Park of Atlanta…
